Z Tejas. They have some pretty good food and the owner is one of the nicest fellas you could ever meet. They have a location on 6th Street near Lamar and another one up in the Arboretum area.

I've always loved Z Tejas, Robert. I don't seem to get there much when I'm home, though. First stop is Chuy's for my Tex-Mex fix. Then, it's my mom's cooking. I'm planning on getting plenty of both this weekend. However, I have a first-timer-to-Austin in town with me for this trip. I'll have to play tourist with him.
